Guiding star for sustainable
purchasing
purchasing
The sustainability impact of any purchase hinges on two decisions: First, which product you buy, and second, from which supplier. Typically, the outcome mostly depends on the product choice. That is why we all urgently need guidance on products’ sustainability.
ESG-Score.org ranks products on sustainability from 0 to 100. Please find actual product
rankings here.
The ESG-Score labelling of products can be integrated in procurement systems and online
shops.
Methodology
Professional purchasing guidelines demand that, before making a product choice, one shall compare all available products with regards to their footprints in the commodity group specific hotspots. That is exactly what we do for you:
1. Specific hotspots
Ingredients are key: Via materials, processes and risks, which play a role in a commodity group, we elaborate its critical impact areas: the hotspots.2. Sustainability indicators
To be able to compare the products with regards to the commodity group's hotspots, we identify and weight appropriate data points: sustainability indicators.3. Product scoring
Based on the sustainability indicator data, we rank the products. The table leader
obtains an ESG-Score of 100 as it leaves 100% of the other products behind.Please click here to get to the notebook's product scorings.
